Scott Robert Bartol, age 57, passed away on Monday, October 25th, 2021. He was born on July 17, 1964, in Berlin to Robert and Carol Bartol. Scott attended grade school at St. Stanislaus Catholic School and graduated from Berlin High School in 1982. He attended the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, where he earned a degree in education. Scott began teaching for the Berlin Area School District after graduation. Later he earned his master’s degree in education from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and an administration degree from Marian College. Scott was an integral part of the Berlin school community, impacting the lives of many students, teachers and families for 34 years. He retired in June 2021, after working as a Clay Lamberton Elementary School teacher, Berlin Middle School Language Arts teacher, Clay Lamberton Principal, and Berlin Middle School Principal. He took great pride in organizing (and making his signature beans) for the teacher recognition dinners, holiday parties, and other school functions. He enjoyed leading the annual Veteran’s Day program, providing inspirational messages through his Friday Focus letters, and accompanying elementary school children on the summer trips to Trees for Tomorrow. Many will also remember his special puppetry talents with his pal, Slappy. Scott was a dedicated coach. He shared his love for basketball, coaching high school boys and girls teams. He had the privilege of being part of the coaching staff when his brothers, Jeff and Jerry, went to state. He also had the honor of coaching his daughters and nieces. Scott enjoyed organizing church and community events. He was a very active member of All Saints Catholic Parish, co-chairing the Parish Festival for many years. He was also president of the Holy Name Society in which he enjoyed organizing annual steak fry events. He lived a very faith-filled life. He had a love for adventure and fun, inviting friends and families to annual spring break trips in Gulf Shores, bus trips to Jimmy Buffet concerts, “Up North” adventures at the cabin, and stories and music around the campfire. Many people visited in his garage for regular Friday night gatherings or morning coffee. Scott’s true pride and joy were his two daughters, Alyse and Olivia. Scott was the biggest fan of the girls’ activities, from music to sports. He also cherished family trips to places like Alabama, Disney and Upper Michigan. But most of all, he loved being their father. Scott will be deeply missed. He is survived by two daughters, Alyse and Olivia; his mother, Carol, and his siblings, Tim (Jamie), Shelly (Brian) Johnson, Jeff (Jill), and Jerry (Amy). He is further survived by many relatives, including his nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, godchildren, friends, and his former spouse, Amy Moore. He was preceded in death by his father, Robert; paternal grandparents, James and Alice Bartol; and maternal grandparents, Leo and Helen Plato. He will be remembered for his caring nature. As an organ donor, he was able to provide the gift of life to others.
